Colour Lookbook: Refresh your home with Bright Skies™
Sep 14, 2021
It’s important to have a space at home where your body and mind can unwind. Create a relaxing living room by combining complementary warm tones with an uplifting band of our Colour of the Year 2022 Bright SkiesTM. We added a cocooning and comforting feel with Pressed PetalTM walls, and defined the decorative shelving with an accent of Blood OrangeTM.
Use pastel colours in your hallway to make the space feel warm and welcoming from the moment you walk through the front door. Here, we teamed Blood OrangeTM on the walls with a Cornflower WhiteTM trim for contrast. Then, we echoed these uplifting tones to create a calm, cohesive flow of colour with Bright SkiesTM in a connecting room. Why not give it a try?
If you want to transform your bedroom into a relaxing retreat – a place where you can enjoy some much needed me time – “try painting your walls in pretty pale pink Pressed PetalTM combined with Bright SkiesTM. This fresh blue can be used to define a space that needs a different feel, such as a dressing area” says Marianne Shillingford, Dulux Creative Director.
Painting with pastel colours is only one part of making your home a haven. Picking complementary furniture and accessories will contribute to the overall look and feel of a room.
For a soothing sanctuary, consider what’s going to bring comfort and joy to your day. Here are five interior design ideas to get you started.
1. Go beyond black and select a sleek radio that coordinates with your room. The Rambler BT Stereo Radio by Roberts is available in this stunning dusky pink.
2. For a classic yet contemporary look, choose flooring with character, such as these Victorian Flooring Newbury Terracotta tiles from our partner Topps Tiles.
3. An accent chair is perfect for a bedroom, lounge or to bring an unloved corner to life. Choose a rich colour to add a layer of luxury, such as this Enchanted accent chair in orange velvet from DFS.
4. Introduce subtle shine with warm metallics – this spun metal Galley 40cm Copper Easy Fit Pendant from Dunelm is ideal.
5. The Java range from our furniture retail partner DFS includes this Large Pattern Scatter cushion, available in Colour of the Year 2022 Bright SkiesTM, and five shades from the complementary colour palettes.
